At long last my well pump has been replaced, so I am now

My question is, how long should the sprinklers be left in one
spot?

If you're in the North West they're about to call a hosepipe
ban!
Eek!

Ah, but does that ban using the hose for water pumped from my own
well?

As far as I know the rules vary from area to area and are specific to the
ban being imposed by a particular water company, each ban being unique,
so even within the same area different rules may apply during different
bans, the last one down here you were allowed to use a hose to fill a
watering can but not to water the garden! and if you had a meter fitted
the ban did not apply at all, but other areas its a blanket ban, its
always worth checking as the media just love to use the word "ban" when
its quite often "restriction" they should have used
